Abstract
A shift control device for a transmission having a synchronizing device, a select actuator for actuating the speed change operation mechanism of the transmission in the selecting direction, a shift actuator for actuating the speed change operation mechanism in the shifting direction. A controller determines the driving force of the shift actuator correspondingly to the shift stroke position. Further, the difference in the synchronizing rotational speed is determined based on the input shaft rotational speed, the gear ratio of the speed change gear that is to be engaged and the output shaft rotational speed, and the driving force of the shift actuator in a synchronizing range during the gear-engaging operation is determined based on the above determined difference in the synchronizing rotational speed.
